Women Who Think Too Much: How to break free of overthinking and reclaim your life

Product Information

I thought this was a great book with a lot of valuable information. The concepts mirror the concepts that we try to use in the acceptance and commitment therapy model so it definitely makes sense. I don’t think reading this book one time really does it Justice and I will absolutely re-read in the future. The result: women will come away from this book knowing that they have a lean, mean, communicating machine. Men will develop a serious case of brain envy. We cannot, as a society, choose leaders who represent our best values if we do not, as individuals, spend the necessary quiet time discovering and refining those values. Otherwise, we end up either letting other people make choices for us or going with the candidate who has the best ad campaign. We have an obligation not only to ourselves but to current and future generations to connect with our values and make choices as a citizen that reflect these values. Again, this takes time and turning down the volume." More of a 2.5 but being generous and rounding up to 3. This was a good book with helpful information. I appreciated all the references to scientific studies and then real-life examples to explain it in layman's terms. However, I found parts 1 and 2 to be most valuable. Part 3 about triggers felt like it was repeating previous sections of the book and didn't add much more value.

Women prone to this kind of overthinking tend to take on an air of wounded self-righteousness and focus on designing retribution that will severely sting our victimizers. How does the concept of a nemesis, on the job or in a social context, fit in with the book's assertions about "if only" thinking?

The book's subtitle proposes that overthinking can prevent women from truly embracing their lives. What are some of the ways in which overthinking acts as a barrier to authenticity? In particular, what can morbid meditations reveal about sense of self?
